2020 MT Senatorial race: on Energy & Oil


Steve Bullock: Opposed Obama's halting coal mine leasing on Federal land

In 2014, he worked with ranchers to implement voluntary conservation efforts to prevent the listing of sage grouse as an endangered species. He framed it as a win for state management over federal intervention. In 2016, he railed against President Barack Obama's decision to halt leasing of new coal mines on federal land and withheld support for Obama's Clean Power Plan.

Wilmot Collins: Believe in science; save planet from climate catastrophe

We face an imminent environmental crisis, unlike anything we've ever seen. I'm asking you to believe in science and to be a part of the extraordinary efforts it will take to save our planet from climate catastrophe. I'm asking you to help protect the jobs sustained by our climate in agriculture and our State's natural beauty in outdoor recreation. We can make it so that our public lands and our open spaces here in Montana have never been and never will be for sale.
